Admin note: Hard to believe, but I've now been doing the nba-daily reports
for 20 years. In the summer of 1993 I received 2 separate e-mails from
people in Europe asking if I'd keep them informed with the going-ons in
the NBA as information was so hard to come by then (in the days before the
growth of the web). [I was net-known on the Usenet newsgroup
rec.sport.basketball.pro, especially after my insane "A tab on the
playoffs" reports.] I enjoy doing the nba-dailys as not only am I helping
others but I'm also keeping myself informed on the going-ons with all the
teams (otherwise I might just focus on my Mavs).
I did this once before, so once every 10 years seems appropriate. If
you'd like to send a token of appreciation for these reports, I have a
Paypal account with the address of patricia@panix.com or (the old
fashion way) snail mail at

or, if you really want to make me happy, spread the word about my puzzle
program www.trianglons.com to math and logic puzzle fans! Or just
continue enjoying the nba-dailys (they're still free).
